Watercolor Effect Canvas Shoes & Pouch
Transform your canvas shoes and pouch from ordinary to extraordinary with this watercolor effect tutorial!
Painting is such a great way to express yourself. When you'd like others to see a different side of you, you can paint on a canvas or a coloring page as a means of self-expression. Yet, you don't have to limit yourself to only painting on a canvas sheet. You can paint on other surfaces, such as a pair of shoes or a pouch!
If you have a canvas purse or a pair of canvas shoes lying around in your closet, you should check out this Watercolor Effect Canvas Shoes & Pouch tutorial. Instead of wearing plain shoes and accessories, show off your personality by painting a watercolor effect onto your wardrobe!

Materials List
- DecoArt® Stylin™ in Blue, Fuchsia, Beige, Yellow, Brown, and White
- Canvas Shoes
- Canvas Clutch
- Small Flat Brush
- Round Brush 6
Instructions:
-
Dip the brush in Beige paint and dab on a few small dots.
-
Using the same brush, paint several loose ‘C’ shapes around the dots.
-
Dip the brush in water and paint over the 'C' shapes. This will make the paint spread and give it a watercolor effect.
-
Dip the round brush in Fuchsia and lightly tap the brush onto the wet flower.
-
Repeat this process with as many flowers as you wish. (Try varying colors for more depth.) Allow paint to dry.
-
Dip the brush in Blue paint and paint some leaves around the flower
-
Once the flower is dry, paint several small dots in the middle of the flower.
NOTE: If you wish to have the Blue in the flower “spread”, paint while the flowers are still wet.
NotesNote:
Wetting the surface prior to applying paint will allow the paint to dilute and spread like watercolor
